First let me say: AWESOME GAME!

1) Keep the top 5 or even just the top 1 historical leaders for stats. I know the data is there, it's just a matter of displaying it. As it is right now you have to go through th ehall of fame and look at every individual player, which is obviously tedious if you get a few seasons under your belt.

2) Give us the ability to sort the Hall Of Fame screen or something along those lines...it would tie in nicely with #1.

The next item isn't so much a request for a feature, just a request for an explanation. Here is the situation: I started a game with the current rosters and did a fantasy draft. I ended up chosing the Brewers cuz they were the highest NL team to draft. I always simulate everything. I just prefer to let my GM skills determine my W-L record rather than my managerial skills...since I know very little about baseball tactics.

So, after the draft I check my Market Size (Rather Big) & Fan Loyalty (can't remember, but it was the step below Extreme). Fast forward to the year 2045. I have won 18 World Series, and have made the playoffs 30/35 years (4 of the years I missed were the first 4 years of the game while I was building my team), including the last 20 years straight. My overall record is 3730-2036 (.647 pct). In fact I have 5 threepeats of world series wins (and might have a 4-peat if I win it this year!). If you compare my stats with that of the Yankees, they won 18 championships from 1923-1958, which is...35 years. I'm not trying to brag, I'm simply saying that I have turned the Brewers into an absolute powerhouse.

So my question is this: does my Market Size ever increase? It's been "Rather Big" for 35 years, while I've been destroying the league for 35 of those years. My Fan Loyalty increased to "Extreme" about 15 years ago I think, but yet my Market size refuses to budge. I would assume that the market size of a team that wins 18 World Series in the span of 35 years would increase it's market size. Since it's taken me this long and I haven't even seen my market size budge one bit, I'm worried that it will take another 100 years to get my market size to the top level...which is insane. Maybe in 2145 I can relocate the Brewers to the moon and increase it's market size...and home runs (hello no gravity!)
